I did enjoy doin th challenges (dailys), but I hated that I had to rush to log on to do them. I have a lot of stuff goin on outside of this game.
That being said, I think the hero's pass has some good points but it seems like a lot is centered around fighting & necro. Now, I would love to fight if I could. But its a challenge for me to do it. I have found it better to just skill & some quests/clues. Fighting is just too difficult for me.
Also I'm not on as much and while I do have a life outside, I also have a life in RS.
Am I being confusing? I'm sorry, There are always ppl who are going to complain & whine. But all in all I think it'll work out as you work out the "bugs".

I hope I helped some and not just rambled lol Strawburycat

Please check out the blog yesterday:

"Completing Daily Mission Tier I and II will grant Hero Points and a Large XP Lamp each, while Tier III will simply give you additional Hero Points. This means earning all Daily XP from Hero Pass will now take ~15 minutes, half of that if you focus on the bonus progression skill shown on the mission."


This means you will only need to play ~15 minutes a day training whatever skill or activity, without the fighting and combat you don't want to do.

As an ironman I want the daily challenges with the experience rewards.

Having a job, family and also an university study, I don't have a lot of time available to grind towards endgame content. Some support, in the form of daily experience rewards, helps to keep the game enjoyable and engaging. Missing these experience rewards, the game is missing the incentive for me to log in daily.

For the rest of the Hero Pass, i would like to see it only filled with cosmetic items. Engaging with this content should be an option, just like the Yak Track. I don't want certain 'must have' items and boosts behind a money barrier, or behind forced interaction with MTX-based content.

I would like to see the Hero Pass in the background instead of 'in your face'. I'm OK with selling cosmetic items for money, but let me enjoy the game were I paid for without the Hero Pass content.

Thank you.

One of the solutions that is popping up is to ignore the hero pass and be surprised with the benefits. I will doing that as well, but what is the point in making stuff you only survive by ignoring the existence?
With the three keys extra, the odds of getting something extra were present. Now I will have to ignore the treasure hunter as well, because with only a limited time and 3 keys a day the anger and regret for not getting anything of value will be to great. By unbalancing TH the fun is over, so no longer buying extra keys. The oddments are greatly reduced as well, so longer watching the oddments store, to depressing to see stuf you only get after a few years ignoring content

There is an updated newspost on the home page.

A lot to read. Maybe someone could make the first 3 paragraphs into a Star Wars style opening crawl.

They are going to remove the 'pay to win' features. Make it easier to complete.

And restore the daily challenges, which could take weeks. (?)

Also the buffs are being removed next week. I already earned my buffs, so I reckon I should make some Fort Forinthry building materials. :P

Daily missions being assigned for skills that are already 200 million xp are a curious thing.

I was using daily challenges that I selected to help bring up all of my lower skills, ones that don't really interest me on a good day. All of my skills, except for necro, are and have been maxed for a while.

The 2% buff gain for members, and apparently free accounts too, and 15% buff gain for premier members continue to lead me to think, that for fairness, the premier member perks need to only be available on premier only servers as member perks are not available on free servers.

There are three very distinct levels of RS3, separate them.

I'm happy to see the old style daily challenges will come back. :D I'm wondering what will happen about the completion tokens from them that were used to give us hero points. I assume we'll be starting from scratch.
